Mark...I think the younger end of the poll is just too busy with other things and doesn't find the time to spend on this message board and polls. They may have adjusted to CPAP and are going on with their lives.

That's probably true.
Seems my age group has taken the lead once again!

They are probably just dizzy from circling in De-Nile! Got to remember when we were that age we were bulletproof. Jim

48 and it's been 6 months. Still trying to figure out how to get the best fitting mask. I have three that I alternate.

Looks like I'm all alone in the young kids bracket, even after 7+ years on the hose.

If you start a thread explaining what you are most looking for in a mask, there may be someone who has the perfect suggestion for you on that. Those sorts of helpful people don't always check the posts in one of my poll threads, so your starting a thread might be your best chance of getting helped. And please do find that help. The mask is often the key to this therapy.

Maybe by the time I'm in median age group, there will be a better way to sleep! I can't sleep without my hose, but I'd love to have something else as a solution for the next 50+ years

Jim, It’s been too long since you visited New Orleans.

“In particular, because New Orleans is below sea level, digging six feet under is rarely a viable option. So, in turn, New Orleans has a unique cemetery culture of bodies being placed in above-ground tombs.”

I. voted, I don't care who knows how old I am, it has never bothered me. I just turned 75 and have been a happy "hosehead" for 7+ years. I have hit lots of road blocks over the years, but have survived them all, maybe a little dustier, but I'm still here As Goof says, "at least I got up every day on the green side of the grass".

I'm thinking of having Astro Turf put on my grave facing both directions, that way I'm covered. Maybe add Asbestos between the Astro Turf, o keep people from burning their feet. Jim

Just thought of what to put on the Tombstone, "Finally He CAN"T Get Out!"

Where the tombs can more easily be broken into.

After all, there is a continuing need for old bones for their Voodoo Tours.
